I will swallow your pain
Though it sticks in my throat 
Till I can’t take a breath.

I will bury your anguish
In a place you won’t see it
And leave you the light.

I will carry your burden
Along with my own load
To let you stand taller.

I will clear cluttered paths
Moving things that can harm you
So you won’t falter.

I will hold you
As long as you need me 
Until you are home…
